Policy on Medical Immunizations for Education Abroad
Students participating in international study/travel opportunities are required to have received all of their childhood vaccinations and be up-to-date on other vaccinations that the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends, such as ones to protect against COVID-19.
Additionally, students are required to receive all immunizations that the CDC requires to travel to a particular country or region; and Berea College's Center for International Education may require immunizations that the CDC merely recommends for that country or region.
For example, students hoping to study in Ghana, are required to:
A. Have all their routine (childhood) vaccinations and boosters.
B. Have their COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters.
C. Get vaccinated against Yellow Fever (something that is recommended by the CDC, yet required by the Center for International Education) prior to traveling to Ghana.
